Inventor: FERRAN PATRICK
IPC: H01H13/70
Filed: 1991-10-24
Abstract: The device according to the invention involves at least one on/off switch (I) comprising, carried by a substrate, two conducting regions (4,5) as well as an electrically conducting elastic cup (6) in contact with the region (4) and extending, at rest, above the region (5) so as to be able to come into contact with the latter under the effect of a stress. An electrical signal originating from a source (9) is applied to the cup (6). A circuit (10,11) measures the variations in this signal due to the proximity of an electrically conducting object.

Title: Process and device for regenerating alkaline solutions for pickling aluminium.
Inventor: BRODALLA DIETER
IPC: C23G1/36
Filed: 1991-03-15
Abstract: In a process for regenerating alkaline solutions for pickling aluminium, in which aluminium hydroxide is recovered, a pickling solution containing alkali hydroxide, aluminate, a complex builder and other additives is transferred from a pickling bath into a reactor section consisting of at least one reactor, where aluminium is precipitated as aluminium hydroxide. The temperature of the pickling bath is higher than that of the reactor section. The process is operated so that the concentration of aluminate, alkali and gluconate and the temperature in the pickling bath, on the one hand, and the temperature drop from the pickling bath to the reactor section, on the other hand, are adjusted so that the pickling solution in the pickling bath is undersaturated or metastably supersaturated in relation to the precipitation of aluminium hydroxide but unstably supersaturated in the reaction section. A device for carrying out the process of the invention is also disclosed.

Abstract: Solutions peroxydiques aqueuses, contenant des espèces d'oxybore et une quantité sous-stoechiométrique de métaux alcalins, pouvant faire l'objet d'un traitement ultérieur dans des conditions de précipitation contrôlées pour produire des microcristaux. Les étapes du traitement ultérieur sont souvent réalisées par le client lui-même dans un endroit différent du lieu d'origine, de sorte que les solutions sont soumises à des périodes de stockage potentiellement longues et/ou des risques de transport pouvant occasionner une précipitation prématurée. La stabilité physique de telles solutions peut être augmentée, autrement dit la période de stockage avant la précipitation peut être prolongée, par l'introduction dans la solution d'une quantité efficace de cyclohexane-1,2-diaminotétra(acide phosphonique de méthylène), qui s'élève souvent d'au moins 0,005 % à 1 % par poids en eau de la solution et peut avantageusement être choisi dans la fourchette de 0,01 à 0,1 % par poids d'eau. Dans ces solutions, le rapport métaux alcalins:mole de bore sera de préférence entre 0,5:1 et 0,67:1, le contenu oxybore est de préférence compris entre 3 et 8 % par poids d'eau, calculé comme bore et le rapport mole d'oxygène disponible:bore est de préférence entre 0,9:1 et 1,2:1.

IPC: B25G1/10
Filed: 1992-07-16
Abstract: A high strength composite tool handle (10) includes one or more load-bearing jackets surrounding a lightweight filler core (26) or a relatively strong reinforcing core (28). The facing surfaces between the core and the jackets are corrugated to increase the flexural strength of the tool handle while minimizing the weight of materials. The composite tool handle is manufactured in a pultrusion manufacturing process wherein a core having a corrugated external surface is fed into a pultrusion die tube. Resin coated fibers (32) are channeled into the space between the core and the die tube where the fibers are compressed and heated to form a cured product. The resin coated fibers (32) around the core form a fiber-resin jacket having an inner surface which conforms to the corrugated external surface of the core, to key-lock the jacket (30) to the core. A continuous mold insert belt (52) may be inserted into the pultrusion die tube (40) simultaneously with the resin coated fibers (32) to provide a corrugation on the external surface of the cured fiber-resin jacket (30). A secondary jacket is then molded onto the fiber-resin jacket over the external corrugations thereof such that an inner surface of the secondary jacket conforms to the corrugated external surface of the fiber-resin jacket to key-lock the secondary jacket to the fiber-resin jacket. The secondary jacket may include both a reinforcing tip (20) molded onto the fiber-resin jacket (30) to strengthen the handle at its attachment to a tool head, and a grip molded onto the fiber-resin jacket adjacent to the reinforcing tip (20).

Abstract: A magnesium alloy includes 0.1 to 6.0% by weight of Al, 1.0 to 6.0% by weight of Zn, 0.1 to 3.0% by weight of rare earth element (hereinafter referred to as "R.E."), and balance of Mg and inevitable impurities. By thusly adding Al and Zn, the castability, especially the die-castability, is improved. At the same time, the room temperature strength can be improved because the Mg-Al-Zn crystals having a reduced brittleness are dispersed uniformly in the crystal grains. Further, by adding R.E. as aforementioned, the high temperature strength is improved because the Mg-Al-Zn-R.E. crystals having a higher melting point and being less likely to melt are present in the crystal grain boundaries between the Mg-Al-Zn crystals. This magnesium alloy is excellent in castability, can be die-cast, has a higher tensile strength at room temperature, and is satisfactory in high temperature properties and creep properties. Moreover, when the magnesium alloy includes R.E. in a reduced amount of 0.1 to 2.0% by weight, and further includes 0.1 to 2.0% by weight of Zr and 0.1 to 3.0% by weight of Si, it becomes a magnesium alloy, which is further excellent in the castability, which has a higher tensile strength at room temperature, which is further superb in the high temperature properties and the creep properties, and at the same time whose corrosion resistance is upgraded.
